Abolition and Restorative Justice: Present Day

Rachel Telushkin has worked in fiscal operations for the nonprofit, private and academic sectors in Franklin, Hampshire and Hamden counties, with a focus on community economic development, including revolving loan funds, community land trusts and grant management. Her life interests are justice, historical truth telling, urban ecosystems, creating healthy educational experiences, and abolition. Flint still doesn’t have clean water.
